My environment is both safe and confidential,and we can work together to help you lead the life you want.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a modern approach to therapy utilising a wide range of techniques in addition to hypnosis. These include NLP (Neuro-Linquistic Programming),EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique }, and Positive Psychology,

Cognitive Hypnotherapy helps with a wide range of issues not usually associated with hypnosis.

I am also a Confident Childbirth Practitioner and can help you to have a positive birth experience using Hypnobirthing techniques. I work on a one to one basis , with couples and run small groups.

I offer past life regression sessions which can help clear many issues . Please contact me for more details.

I am a qualified teacher and worked for many years in a Primary Special School. I also obtained a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling. Although counselling can be very beneficial I soon became interested in the unconscious mind and trained in Cognitive Hypnotherapy at the renowned Quest Institute in London. I am constantly amazed at the results achieved by my clients and the positive changes that are made.

I also work as a Personal Development Coach working with clients on a longer term basis . I can help you to achieve your dreams, uncover potential blocks to success and happiness, and lead you towards a more fulfilling life. I can help in the areas of relationships, business and personal life.

I also work with couples who would like help with their relationship using a unique approach devised by Trevor Silvester using his book " Lovebirds" as a basis for the work . These sessions include at least two individual sessions with the clients aswell as couples work.

Testimonials

"I was having problems with walking unaided. This was not physical but brought on by a fear/phobia. This affected me enormously from walking around my house and garden to restricting my ability to leave the house alone. It was my first thought as I woke in the morning as to how I was going to deal with what seemed to be obstacles. Before I could plan to do anything I would think about where I was going and any obstacles that may be a problem to me.There was a marked improvement after my first session with Nikki. Due to various emotional problems in my life I did take a few backward steps. However each session Nikki tried different techniques and gradually helped me to relax and generally feel less anxious and I became more confident that I could overcome the problem. After my last session I stayed with my daughter in Spain and I struggled being out of my comfort zone. However towards the end of my stay I was aware of a marked improvement and my legs no longer feeling as if they did not want to move and take the next step. Since then I have had the confidence to go out alone and increase my activities.I found Nikki very easy to talk to from the first consultation. I looked forward to my sessions and found her very comforting and understanding. I was totally relaxed with her.Nikki has said that I have come this far myself with her guidance. However I am sure that without her sessions I would not have the got to the point I am now. I am enjoying life again, feel more positive and have learnt to deal with any fears that creep in. I would definitely recommend Nikki to anyone needing similar help.

" Im just back from New York . I just want to say a huge thank you for your help with my flying issue.The flight out was like a dream, I had no anxiety at all not even a flutter. On the way to the airport I was excited and happy to be going. When I walked on the plane I felt calm. We had turbulence but it didn't faze me at all. I was amazed that anything I had ever felt before didn't even come close to this experience.Thank you so much,will definitely be recommending it to anyone who also finds flying difficult"

Charlotte , March 2017

" I came to see Nikki with feelings of worthlessness,feeling I did not deserve happiness, feeling there was no future.I was stuck in a rut and knew I needed to change. I was always bursting into tears, avoiding people, feeling like there was a black cloud hanging over me constantly and couldn't see into the future without tremendous fear.I now feel like a different person. I am happy, positive, and understand what the problems were which were affecting me and the people around me. The tools used in the sessions were very effective and helped me enormously. I did not know which events in my life had been causing the problems which had manifested themselves before I went to see Nikki, and now I am aware of these and am able to deal with them constructively.Nikki is warm and empathetic and provides a safe place in which to explore and discover what is lying within oneself which has been buried under layers of living, yet are responsible for not achieving the happiness and fulfillment we all deserve. I truly feel like I am a different person having completed work with Nikki.I can't recommend Nikki and her methods highly enough."

"I have experienced NLP in the past and was sure that with the right guidance I could take the necessary steps to move my life forward.My behaviour patterns had become trapped, using negative behaviours to reinforce old beliefs.Nikki was an excellent guide. The most amazing thing I found about Nikki was her ability to listen and really hear you.This made my journey an easy and swift one. In four meetings we had revisited some old memories, and with the help of the audio recording I was able to easily swap negative behaviour for positive one's.I now feel more me! Free to take bold new steps into my future, happy in the belief that I am OK." (J. February 2017)

"I had got into bad habits of eating lots of chocolate and biscuits between meals ,even when I wasn't hungry. I had become overweight,feeling tired all the time and this was affecting my long term health.It was amazing,instantly I didn't crave chocolate or biscuits and was able to take control. After several weeks I felt better, I had a lot more energy and could see my longterm health improving. Nikki put me at ease,listened to everything I had to say and helped to change my thought patterns with easy steps leaving me feeling refreshed. I am amazed at how easy Nikki reprogrammed my thoughts and should have done this years ago! I have been on diets in the past but I have always felt hungry and eventually put all my weight back on. Cognitive Hypnotherapy has helped me take control of my health and wellbeing. "

I came to see Nikki, as for a long time, I'd been suffering from anxiety. This was getting worse after the death of my son. I'd tried some other methods of helping with anxiety, but someone suggested that hypnotherapy might be an alternative method that works. I found myself worrying about all sorts of things that could happen, when in all probability they would not. I often lost sleep or felt compelled to leave early, check and double-check things to make sure that everything went to plan.

After working with Nikki I found my mind felt lighter and I am now more able to process things and put them in to perspective. My anxiety levels have decreased so much and Im sleeping much better. If I do get a little anxious I use the relaxation techniques Nikki taught me and they have made a very positive difference. I found the personalised recordings Nikki made me very helpful aswell and I listened to them daily.

Nikki has a great manner, very calming and whatever I wanted to talk about, she gave me the time to speak. She put me at ease and explained everything she was doing really well. I highly recommend her . ( David October 2016)

Extract from an email sent by the mother of an 11 year old client with an acute fear of dogs) July 2016

"My daughter has made huge progress in regards to dogs. I'm so pleased with how it's gone, I can't tell you. We went to the beach at the weekend and we took a friend of hers with us. She didn't even mention dogs before we walked down and even when there was a dog a little way away off it's lead she still didn't say anything! I was chuffed! We were at my mums yesterday and she was looking after 2 dogs. P made friends with them and was sitting on the floor cuddling them for ages.Its a huge positive change .Thank you . " ( July 2016)

"Nikki Parsons is the best kind of therapist...she helps you open the doors to your inner self and to your memories that have long been shut. But it is you that does the opening, you do the discovering and therefore it is you that does the healing. Over 6 weeks of working with Nikki, I found my way back to the real Me that I had come close to forgetting, and all the barriers that I had placed in my own way, that stopped me from leading the life I wanted and deserved, began to melt away." ( June 2016)

" I came to see Nikki as I had recently lost my son and was also concerned about my weight. I was becoming very low in spirit and finding taking control of my life ( particularly eating )very difficult. After working with Nikki I was much improved and continued to cope. Nikki's techniques were very useful and I continue to use them. Her manner and empathy were beyond reproach. Nikki made me feel comfortable and secure whilst remaining completely professional." ( Dec 2015 ) Margaret.

"When I came to see Nikki I was suffering from anxiety which stopped me eating and sleeping. I was losing weight and only sleeping for a few hours each night. Nikki was so helpful and understanding. I had never talked about my anxiety before but after the first session I was like a new me and felt so much better. When I had finished all my sessions my eating had improved a lot and I was sleeping much better. I would recommend Nikki to anyone as Ive not felt this happy or healthy for years. "( Dec 2015 ) Andrew "

" I became a non-smoker with Nikkis help on 2nd October 2015 and I cant believe its now the 4th November. It feels like I haven't smoked in a long time and I do not miss it one bit. All good so far. Its an amazing feeling and has reduced my stress levels. I'm certainly enjoying my life so much more than when I was planning my next nicotine hit!" (Nov 2015)

'Following Hypnotherapy and EFT with Nikki I have been migraine free for 6 years. Before seeing Nikki I had 3 or more migraines a month which left me in bed all day and she has literally changed my life and taken away the fear of never knowing when I would have one. I have seen Nikki a couple of times since during some stressful periods of my life for top up EFT and hypnotherapy sessions which have again been really helpful in addressing the issues I had. Nikki's reassuring and calm manner immediately put me at ease during the sessions and she explained fully what would happen during treatment leaving me feeling totally in control. I really recommend Nikki for Hypnotherapy or EFT it is life changing!' R. (Aug 2015)

"Nikki was very kind and understanding and helped my daughter overcome severe anxiety problems, particularly around food. The process and change worked very quickly and my daughter now has tools to help deal with any situations which cause her to feel anxious. I am delighted with the positive change in her since seeing Nikki. I would highly recommend her. Many thanks again, Sarah (May 2015 )

"Nikki has treated me several times over the past three years and I found it to be a profound and positive experienceI soon found things were beginning to shift in positive and incredible waysRather than it being a lengthy and difficult process, it is a swift "unlocking by magic"Nikki is a very special individual and I feel extremely fortunate to have experienced her therapy treatmentsThe techniques used in the sessions were amazingly empowering, transformative and life changing. Highly recommended"
